Anime One Piece to become live-action TV series...produced in the U.S.?!? soranews24.com

But hot on the heels of that declaration of an eventual ending comes news of a brand-new beginning for One Piece.
He also predicted that the live-action One Piece will be the most-expensive TV series ever produced, and that given the worldwide attention he expects the adaptation to receive, such investment will be well justified.
This isn’t the first time someone has announced a live-action One Piece, but it is the first time for Shueisha itself to be doing the talking.
Throw in the abysmal track record live-action adaptations of anime have, especially those produced overseas, and investors probably won’t be fighting each other to throw money at a live-action One Piece.
Whether that will be enough to provide smooth sailing for the live-action One Piece is something we’re going to have to wait an indefinite amount of time to see.
